Ecology and Society, 2023 The world has become increasingly metacoupled through flows of materials, energy, people, capital, and information within and across systems. Transboundary flows, connecting adjacent and distant systems, are deemed the most critical indicators for ...

Work–Residence Mismatch Drives Air Pollution Disparities Across Urban–Rural China
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Across the globe, spatial mismatches between work and residence reshape human mobility and influence regional air quality, yet their effects across urban–rural systems remain poorly quantified. China's ongoing urbanization and rural revitalization underscore the urgent need to understand these dynamics. Here, using multi‐source geospatial data,

Interpretation of the EU Nature Restoration Law: from pieces of a puzzle to a complete picture
Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue S1, May 2026.The Regulation 2024/1991 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2024, aiming at “the long‐term and sustained recovery of biodiverse and resilient ecosystems across the Member States' land and sea areas through the restoration of degraded ecosystems” is absolutely fundamental for Europe and for the rest of the world. Until 2027, and in

‘Chains of leverage’ as way to identify and foster transformative potential
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2731-2742, November 2025.Abstract We propose the framework of ‘chains of leverage’. It is an operationalisation to understand and analyse the transformative potential of social‐ecological systems and identify leverage points for sustainability transformations through a concrete four‐step approach.

Snowmelt risk telecouplings for irrigated agriculture
Nature Climate Change, 2022 Climate change is altering the timing and magnitude of snowmelt, which may either directly or indirectly via global trade affect agriculture and livelihoods dependent on snowmelt. Here, we integrate subannual irrigation and snowmelt dynamics and a model of international trade to assess the global redistribution of snowmelt dependencies and risks under ...

Response of Global Forest Management to Changes in Wood Demand
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.This study uses a global land use modelling framework (LandSyMM) to simulate global wood demand, harvests, and forest management intensity under a range of socioeconomic and climate scenarios. Findings indicate that global wood demand could increase between 27% and 102% by 2100. This rise in demand is expected to be met primarily through more intensive

Feedback of telecoupling: the case of a payments for ecosystem services program
Ecology and Society, 2018 Around the globe, previously isolated rural areas are increasingly connected with other distant places (e.g., cities) by telecouplings (i.e., environmental and socioeconomic interactions over distances) such as payments for ecosystem services (PES ...

The Diverse Powers of Urban–Rural Linkages: A Growth‐Critical Review
Geography Compass, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT This article examines urban–rural linkages from a growth‐critical perspective to identify their diverse powers for ensuring sustainable futures. While urban–rural linkages are a well‐established object of study and have been considered from various perspectives, they have historically been viewed through a growth‐oriented lens, reinforcing ...
